Troubleshoot Setz Live Bridge

Setz cannot connect

1. 1Confirm Setz Live Bridge is open on the Mac and note the Bridge URL on its Status or Settings screen.
2. 2Confirm the Mac and mobile device are on the same local Wi-Fi. The show can work without internet, but the devices still need the same local network.
3. 3If the Mac's address changed or the pairing was removed, enable pairing and pair again.
4. 4When Setz runs on the same Apple silicon Mac, try http://127.0.0.1:5055 or http://localhost:5055 in manual settings.
5. 5Review the connection/health result and Advanced Details log in Bridge.

Connected but commands do nothing

1. 1Confirm Bridge is Armed. Disarmed Bridge intentionally blocks remote triggers.
2. 2In Outputs, confirm Pro Tools, MIDI, or both are enabled.
3. 3For Pro Tools, open the session, check health, list memory locations, and test Cue.
4. 4For MIDI, confirm Setz Bridge MIDI is enabled in the receiving app and send a test note.
5. 5In Setz MIDI Trigger Manager, auto-assign any missing triggers and send the library to Bridge again.

Prepare the show network

• Use a dedicated, known local network when possible; venue guest networks may isolate devices from each other.
• Keep the Mac awake and Bridge open throughout the set.
• Pair, sync, map, and rehearse before doors. Disable pairing when setup is complete.
• Keep a manual stop path available in the DAW and know where Bridge's All Stop / Panic commands are mapped.
